Nothing locked down
Linux, Mesa drivers and GPL-licensed emulators. Install Windows if you want. You can swap any part with a screwdriver.
The open console.
Hestia One is a compact PC tuned for open-source PS5 emulation. Hestia OS bundles every open PS5 emulator and starts each game in the one that runs it best. It's built on the same x86 CPU and AMD graphics families the console uses.

DRIVER STACK
Why Hestia
Console simplicity. PC freedom.
Emulators are hard to set up and fussy about drivers. Hestia ships with that work done, so you turn it on and start testing.
Built on what the console uses
An x86-64 Ryzen CPU and Radeon graphics: the same architecture families as the PS5, and the hardware emulator developers test on most.
Updates every night
Hestia OS pulls the latest build of every emulator it bundles each night and re-checks which one runs each game best, so the same box plays more games as the projects improve.
Design
Two panels. One core. Nothing to hide.
Matte side panels clamp a black core with four hex screws, so you can take it apart with one key. Air comes in through the panel gaps and leaves through the top grille. An amber seam glows on both sides of the front.

Software
Powered by Hestia OS
No single PS5 emulator runs everything. Hestia OS bundles the open-source ones (KytyPS5, SharpEmu and AnyPS5 native ports), checks each game against the compatibility list and starts it in whichever gets furthest. You can override the pick per game.

FAQ
Straight answers
Does it play PS5 games?
Some, partly. Between them, the emulators in Hestia OS boot a growing list of games and reach gameplay in some, and Hestia starts each game in the one that handles it best. Crashes are still common and big AAA titles don't run well yet. Hestia is for people who want to be there as that changes.
Which emulator does it use?
All of the open-source ones. Hestia OS bundles KytyPS5, SharpEmu and AnyPS5 native ports, checks each game against the compatibility list and starts it in the one that gets furthest. You can choose a different one for any game.
Is this legal?
Emulators themselves are legal in most countries. Hestia includes no console firmware, keys or games. You supply games you own and dumped from your own hardware. Check the laws where you live.
Are you affiliated with Sony?
No. Hestia is an independent concept product and isn't endorsed by or connected to Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Can I use it as a normal PC?
Yes. It's a standard PC, so Steam, a browser and Windows all work. You can also replace the SSD, RAM or graphics card.
Why the price gap between models?
Emulation leans on fast single-core CPU speed and a strong Vulkan GPU. The Pro's 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT give the most headroom for heavier games as the emulator matures.
